1978 Gibson L5S

The L5S was the lovechild of the L5 archtop and a Les Paul. It went through numerous iterations from the early 1970s to early 1980s before it was discontinued. This later variation with humbucking pickups and stop tail piece has become the most desirable over time. This particular example has some of the most exceptional flame maple we have seen on an L5S.
